Hi Folks,
Next month I have several trips planned to go around Manhattan with the vessel. (sales meeting, bachelor party and one other event)
I have gone around Manhattan before and after going up the East and Harlem Rivers I would typically head South on the Hudson and transient dock at chelsea piers for lunch in NYC somewhere.
What about the restaurant at liberty landing?
How is the food there?
What about going North on the Hudson?
Is there anything close on either side of the Hudson?
Is there public docking by Yonkers?
x2o xavairs would be a great spot for lunch especially for the sales meeting when the boss covers everything.
I cant go too far North because these will be all day trips and home port is in Freeport on Long Island.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

Unfortunately, Yonkers has no docking. I think you need to get up to Piermont before you'll find a place you can get to by boat.

You could get a transient slip at the boat basin around 76th street and walk a few blocks to uptown eateries. Nothing north of the Harlem River until you get up near the TZ as Hogan said.

There is a Ruth's Chris right at Lincoln Harbor in Weehawken. Marina overlooks the whole city, right across from Chelsea Piers.

If you want to be in the heart of NYC, 79th Street isn't a bad idea, but bring plenty of fenders due to the ferries. Decent food within a short walk. Restaurant at the marina is good for burgers and beer.

What size boat? Piermont is out, we went in there with a 21'er, raised drive and still churned mud.
Yonkers has the ferry barge if captain would drop off, anchor and pick-up....maybe a few phone calls.
79th street is a good bet, the bar/restaurant is pretty interesting, open air, under highway but very casual. Not sure what else is near there though.
There's PJ Clarkes at WFC/North Cove boat basin had a dock and dine for four hours. There are many restaurants from that location.
Liberty Landing / Ruth Chris in Jersey are also options.

I would give the nod to Liberty Landing as well. Easy (and free) docking if you eat in either one of the restaurants. They wouldn't let me into the 79th street boat basin at low tide with a 30 footer so that may be an iffy proposition.

Thank you for the information.
My boat is a 43' Trojan Express w/ over a 16' beam, so Piermont and the 79th street boat basin are definitely out.
The liberty landing restaurants look really nice and would be a change from Chelsea piers.
Anyone prefer one over the other at Liberty Landing?
http://www.libertyhouserestaurant.com/
http://maritimeparc.com/
It looks like maritimeparc has a better seafood menu, so I am leaning towards going there for the sales meeting.
Bachelor party probably best to do chelsea...

79th Boat Basin can definitely handle you. We went in there last year in a 48' Sedan Bridge. They have lots of room.

Why not consider the North Cove Marina at WFC? Once docked, there are dozens of restaurants within walking distance.

I know one bachelor party where they bachelor wound up in the water at night on the Hudson. The tide swept him away. They were all sobered up quickly. At least they were on a chartered boat with a captain. So put yourself in those shoes.
As far as LL goes I will +1 that, and dis Lincoln Harbor. I think the setting of the restaurant there is much better with a view of Manhattan and the food was always good when we were up that way. Yeah Ruth's has great steaks.
Either place is bound to be mobbed depending on the time of day and day of week.
Closer to the fishing Jonathan?

There was an opening at CC. Not too many opportunities to get in there so we took it.

Not really. Takes an hour to get to Sandy Hook from either direction, much less fuel idling up the Shrewsbury than running on plane down to the hook.
Channel Club is a getaway marina, I need a getaway. I've been all over the east coast and bahamas boating and want a nice place to relax near the beach. Liberty has no pool so you have to take the boat to get to one. And then pay for the slip.
Might go to Connecticut in a few years.

That hour ride each way is going to get old real fast! Especially once the biting flies emerge.
CT would be nice, except for the traffic on the TZ Bridge, 287 & I95! I've thought about it, and just am not ready to deal with it.

I've never had biting flies at CC.
The extra hour drive in my car is a lot cheaper than the 2 hour each way ride I have to take my boat to get to a place where we can cool off in the water.
Lets do the math.
In my car. 20 mpg divided by 145 miles round trip = 7-8 gallons of fuel and I'm poolside looking at the palm trees.
In my boat. 1:45-2 Hours to get anywhere there is water or an anchorage at 45 gph x 2 (roudtrip) equals approx 160-190 gallons.
Then I have to run the genset 24x7 x 2 days if I am at an anchorage or mooring. Add another 48 gallons.
So I'm at approx 210-240 gallons at $4.50 (hoping) = $945-1080 for fuel. Now if I go to a marina I can deduct the genset but have to pay dockage. Lets say Channel Club for $500 for 2 nights. I'm looking at a $1500 weekend to get to a pool.
I think the extra 45 minute drive will feel real good at the end of the year when I look at my bank account and see the money that is there.
Oh, forgot to say that Channel Club is about $2000 less for dockage and the boat washing service is 1/2 the price of Liberty Landing. Will only need the boat washed every other week instead of weekly so that saves me another $1500.
Did I mention the heated pool, beach, wonderful neighborhood, good restaurants and all the palm trees on the property???

Sounds like you should sell the boat and get a pool! Think of how much money you would save then.
Biting flies are not AT the Channel Club, they are near the grasses south of the marina.

I like the boat and a pool near it.
I own the boat outright and a summer home down at the shore it too expensive.
I have best of both worlds now.
I don't hang out in the grass on the south side so now worries about the flies.

To be totally blunt, Maritimeparc sucks. I think it only stays alive by having a catering hall upstairs. Food/drink is over priced, portions are tiny and quality is so so. The "locals" go to Liberty House.

JL,
Install an inground pool at your house, buy a smaller boat. The pool will increase the value of the house and the hell with the big boat.
Or
Get a USCG 6 passenger take some cruise or fish charter and re-coop some of your boating money.
You would be able to pass on issue.

I have plenty of money. Don't want a pool at my house, I hate staying home and watching the grass grow.
Have the smaller boat too.
Connecticut will be the best place to end up in a few years when you can take 3 day trips to Montauk, Block, Newport, Greenport, Essex, etc.....

The inconvenience of the bridge and traffic will all be lost when you are sitting in Block Island Saturday Morning on a normal weekend trip.
Plus the boat wont get as much black streak as we all get.
I walked around Clinton Harbor one time and looked at many of the boats and there was practically no black streaks on any of them.

"inconvienence"????
More like nightmare!! Unless, of course, you enjoy 50 miles of stop and (barely) go. Give it a test one Friday afternoon and see how much fun it is. Don't forget, you get the pleasure of sitting in traffic again on Sunday night or Monday morning.
Now if you could take a chopper there...

Right now my business is in the way of that plan.

When we moved the boat 65+ miles out east I was concerned about the trip every week. Traveling at off hours has kept the drive to about an hour & I like to drive anyway.
It has been great and the change of being an hr from Block/Mystic etc opens up a whole new world. The fuel savings can pay for the slip.
For me, since I can work virtual, I can work from the boat and travel on off days keeping traffic issues down to zero. So far it’s been one of the best boat decisions we have made

I think what Andy said is key about traveling off hours. I moved my boat to Montauk last year for 3 months, 86 mile drive from my house. The drive wasn't really bad, but we always went out late Friday (usually 8pm or later from my house) and came home very early Monday morning. If I wanted to leave Friday afternoon and get there before the sun went down probably would have been a traffic nightmare getting through the Hamptons but leaving late it was fine. I did miss stepping out my back door and walking 30' to the boat, but short runs to very good fishing, 45 minutes to Block Island, etc, made it worthwhile, probably doing it again this year.
